The Alzheimer Disease Genetics Consortium (ADGC) performed a genome-wide association study of late-onset Alzheimer disease using a three-stage design consisting of a discovery stage (stage 1) and two replication stages (stages 2 and 3). Both joint analysis and meta-analysis approaches were used. We obtained genome-wide significant results at MS4A4A (rs4938933; stages 1 and 2, meta-analysis P (P(M)) = 1.7 × 10(-9), joint analysis P (P(J)) = 1.7 × 10(-9); stages 1, 2 and 3, P(M) = 8.2 × 10(-12)), CD2AP (rs9349407; stages 1, 2 and 3, P(M) = 8.6 × 10(-9)), EPHA1 (rs11767557; stages 1, 2 and 3, P(M) = 6.0 × 10(-10)) and CD33 (rs3865444; stages 1, 2 and 3, P(M) = 1.6 × 10(-9)). We also replicated previous associations at CR1 (rs6701713; P(M) = 4.6 × 10(-10), P(J) = 5.2 × 10(-11)), CLU (rs1532278; P(M) = 8.3 × 10(-8), P(J) = 1.9 × 10(-8)), BIN1 (rs7561528; P(M) = 4.0 × 10(-14), P(J) = 5.2 × 10(-14)) and PICALM (rs561655; P(M) = 7.0 × 10(-11), P(J) = 1.0 × 10(-10)), but not at EXOC3L2, to late-onset Alzheimer's disease susceptibility. 相似文献

Several lines of evidence suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation is a key element in myelin formation, differentiation of oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, and recovery from demyelinating lesions. Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disease of the human central nervous system, and studies of experimental demyelination indicate that remyelination in vivo requires the local generation, migration or maturation of new oligodendrocytes, or some combination of these. Failure of remyelination in multiple sclerosis could result from the failure of any of these processes or from the death of oligodendrocytes. Ptprz encodes protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type Z (Ptpz, also designated Rptpbeta), which is expressed primarily in the nervous system but also in oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and neurons. Here we examine the susceptibility of mice deficient in Ptprz to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model of multiple sclerosis. We observe that mice deficient in Ptprz show impaired recovery from EAE induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) peptide. This sustained paralysis is associated with increased apoptosis of mature oligodendrocytes in the spinal cords of mutant mice at the peak of inflammation. We further demonstrate that expression of PTPRZ1, the human homolog of Ptprz, is induced in multiple sclerosis lesions and that the gene is specifically expressed in remyelinating oligodendrocytes in these lesions. These results support a role for Ptprz in oligodendrocyte survival and in recovery from demyelinating disease. 相似文献

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are common, heritable neurodevelopmental conditions. The genetic architecture of ASDs is complex, requiring large samples to overcome heterogeneity. Here we broaden coverage and sample size relative to other studies of ASDs by using Affymetrix 10K SNP arrays and 1,181 [corrected] families with at least two affected individuals, performing the largest linkage scan to date while also analyzing copy number variation in these families. Linkage and copy number variation analyses implicate chromosome 11p12-p13 and neurexins, respectively, among other candidate loci. Neurexins team with previously implicated neuroligins for glutamatergic synaptogenesis, highlighting glutamate-related genes as promising candidates for contributing to ASDs. 相似文献

Recombination, together with mutation, gives rise to genetic variation in populations. Here we leverage the recent mixture of people of African and European ancestry in the Americas to build a genetic map measuring the probability of crossing over at each position in the genome, based on about 2.1 million crossovers in 30,000 unrelated African Americans. At intervals of more than three megabases it is nearly identical to a map built in Europeans. At finer scales it differs significantly, and we identify about 2,500 recombination hotspots that are active in people of West African ancestry but nearly inactive in Europeans. The probability of a crossover at these hotspots is almost fully controlled by the alleles an individual carries at PRDM9 (P?value 10(-245)). We identify a 17-base-pair DNA sequence motif that is enriched in these hotspots, and is an excellent match to the predicted binding target of PRDM9 alleles common in West Africans and rare in Europeans. Sites of this motif are predicted to be risk loci for disease-causing genomic rearrangements in individuals carrying these alleles. More generally, this map provides a resource for research in human genetic variation and evolution. 相似文献

Transthyretin: the servant of many masters 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Transthyretin (TTR) (formerly, thyroxine binding prealbumin) is an evolutionarily conserved serum and cerebrospinal fluid
protein that transports holo-retinol-binding protein and thyroxine. Its serum concentration has been widely used to assess
clinical nutritional status. It is also well known that wild-type transthyretin and approximately 100 different mutants give
rise to a variety of forms of systemic amyloid deposition. It has been suspected and recently established that TTR can suppress
the Alzheimer’s disease phenotype in transgenic animal models of cerebral Aβ deposition. Thus, while TTR is a systemic amyloid
precursor, in the brain it seems to have an anti-amyloidogenic effect. TTR is found in other organs as a result of local synthesis
or transport, suggesting that it may have other, as yet undiscovered, functions. It is possible that its capacity to bind
many classes of compounds allows it to serve as an endogenous detoxifier of molecules with potential pathologic effects. 相似文献

Direct evidence that growth cones pull 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
There is controversy over whether axonal elongation is the result of a pulling growth cone and the role of tension in axonal elongation. Earlier in this decade, the consensus was that axons or neurites elongated from tension generated by forward motility of the growth cone. It was presumed that contractile filopodia were the source of the tension moving the growth cone. But this view was challenged by experiments showing that neurites elongate, albeit abnormally, in the presence of cytochalasin, which inhibits growth-cone and filopodial movements. Additionally, high resolution, video-enhanced observations of growth-cone activity argued against filopodial shortening as a source of tension, suggesting instead that an extrusion of cytoplasm rather than a pulling process, is the key event in neurite elongation. Studies of slow axonal transport, however, indicate that much slower cytoskeletal pushing underlies axonal elongation. We report here direct measurements of neurite force as a function of growth-cone advance which show that they are linearly related and accompanied by apparent neurite growth. No increase in force occurs in neurites whose growth cone fails to advance. 相似文献
